O'Fallon, Ill. - McKendree University men's DI hockey was unable to contain an aggressive Redbird attack for the second straight night as the Bearcats dropped a fifth-straight contest. Sophomore forward Price Dworin recorded his first score of the season in the outing.

McKendree went down 0-1 early in the first period but junior forward Cory Robinson followed suit and fired the equalizing goal shortly after. The Robinson score put the match into a dead-lock up through the half way point of the first period. 

The Redbirds of Illinois State then proceeded to score six-straight goals, going up 7-1 over the hosting-Bearcats in the second period. Four of the six-straight came in the latter art of the first period while two more followed the first intermission period. McKendree put in a second score just after the 11-minute mark from the forward Dworin. 

Illinois State put in another two goals in the second period and one final cap-off score in the third to close down the McKendree Metro Rec Plex for the weekend. 

McKendree has been unable to gain footing this season, sitting at 0-5 to open the year with three losses on its home ice. 

UP NEXT:
McKendree men's DI hockey will be back on the ice for a pair of road matches against Northern Illinois on October 29 and 30 in DeKalb, Illinois.
